Chapter 451: Questioning the case
"Where did this come from?" He Zhifu's soul is not possessed, didn't Wang Xian return all the account books? Why do you still have the original book in your hand?
"Gee, I'm sorry." Wang Xian couldn't hide the smugness on his face and said: "At that time, the time was too tight, and I made a mistake in my busyness, so I actually returned the transcription as the original." However, Lord Futai's subordinates were careless enough to not find out. But he was secretly proud in his heart, and he didn't look at what Lao Tzu was from, and forged and altered official documents and account books, which was the housekeeping skill of Xu officials.
"This, this is okay?" He Zhifu was sweating, and his first reaction was to eat this booklet, but when he saw that the thick stack could hold people to death, he had no choice but to give up.
"Take a closer look, do you need an abacus?" Wang Xian said coldly.
He Zhifu shook his head dejectedly, and hissed: "Don't waste the time of the difference, report the number directly."
"Okay, listen carefully. In the first requisition, there were 33,000 ox carts, horse carts, and mule carts in each county. The second requisition, a total of 31,000 vehicles, the third time is 29,000 vehicles, each time, even half of the number of grain and grass shipped" Wang Xian stared at He Zhifu tightly and said: "May I ask what the extra half of the excess is transported?" Could it be that the official army also has a master like Liu Zijin, who can carry the five ghosts? β
"No, no......" He Zhifu never expected that Wang Xian would expose their lies so easily. As everyone knows, what Wang Xian was in his previous life, auditing accounts of this level, and what tricks are in his eyes, are all clear at a glance.
"Even if you know how to carry the five ghosts, why don't you teach a long lessonδΈ¨ Knowing that there are traitors robbing the road in the road, you still have to send food to others every time? Normally, it should be to exterminate the rebels first and ensure the safety of transportation before resuming grain transportation? Wang Xian took the initiative to skip this difficult question and continued to ask.
"This is not something that the lower authorities can decide." He Zhifu wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said with difficulty. Wang Xian's previous question had already broken through his defenses, and his whole body was about to collapse.
"No matter who decides, I will send food to the rebels again and again, as well as 60,000 head of livestock, countless armor and weapons, bows, arrows, guns and cannons" Wang Xian said with a heavy slap: "I can't escape the suspicion of being an enemy"
As if frightened by the sound of the case, He Zhifu shuddered suddenly, and the official was about to lose his head. What's more, what Liu Zijin blocked was the grain route for the emperor's army, and subsidizing Liu Zijin was a big rebellion, and he wanted to copy the nine clans
"With your official position, it shouldn't be the main thing." Wang Xian straightened up, approached Governor He's mansion, and said in a low voice and earnestly: "Even if you really want to take responsibility, you shouldn't bear the main responsibility, are you planning to use the life of the whole family to carry it for them?" After a pause, he said: "It's better to make meritorious service and expose the first evil, and this official will protect you from prison......
"I, I ......" He Zhifu muttered, not knowing how to answer. Of course, he couldn't easily sell Zhang ChΕ«n and King Jin, because he knew that the prince still had a backhand, and Wang Xian could be arrogant for a while, but he couldn't turn the table, but he couldn't justify Wang Xian's problem, so he had to keep silent.
"I don't know how to answer?" Wang Xian was not surprised, he had made preparations for the battle, and he had long thought of the key figure of He Zhifu, and it was impossible to leave it here easily. Even if he drove him to a dead end, he could remain silent as he did now.
"......" He Zhifu really didn't say anything, anyway, Wang Xian couldn't torture him, he put on a posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Okay, let's change the topic," Wang Xian was not in a hurry: "Let's talk about something else." β
"Okay." He Zhifu can't ask for it, how can he say that he is also a man with a head and a face, and the taste of pretending to be a dead pig is too embarrassing.
"Let's talk about the case of Zhao Zhixian in Fenyang." Wang Xian took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "He was under you when he was alive?" β
"Yes" The corners of He Zhifu's mouth twitched unnaturally, and his heart said that it was true... Which pot is not opened
"Tell me about him." Wang Xian said slowly.
"In fact, strictly speaking, he is not my subordinate, Fenzhou is a Zhili Prefecture, not under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture. It was only during the period of grain transportation that he was transferred from the whole province to my men. He Zhifu said: "But at that time, there were more than a dozen such assistants under me, and he was silent and withdrawn. After finishing an errand, he went back to the post house to study behind closed doors, and never participated in the entertainment of his colleagues, so the lower officials didn't know much about him. β
"Which part was he in charge of?" Wang Xian asked.
"Warehousing." He Zhifu said: "Because he is very careful, I assigned him to be responsible for receiving the grain and grass transported to Taiyuan from all over the country, and the main errand is to count and put it into storage." Then he said softly: "I have reviewed the accounts, and I should have seen his name on it." β
"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said, "Did anything happen to him during the errand?" β
"No, he's meticulous and never made a mistake." He Zhifu shook his head and said.
"Has it always been this errand?"
"Yes, until the end."
"And does he usually eat and drink?" Wang Xian asked.
"I don't think I drink it." He Zhifu shook his head and said: "This person is willing to be bitter, and he doesn't even drink tea, let alone wine." β
"Then why was he drunk the night before he died?" Wang Xian said slowly.
"Oh?" He Zhifu didn't expect that Wang Xian didn't read the file of the prosecutor to understand the case so deeply. Since it was recorded in the archives, the Governor of He naturally had nothing to hide, and replied: "That day was the end of the errand, and the lord of the clan held a send-off banquet. The next day, the officials were going back to their respective jurisdictions, and although Zhao Zhixian did not like this kind of occasion, he could not be absent. After a pause, he said: "That day, the feudal and Taiwanese were in great spirits, and they frequently persuaded them to drink, but Zhao Zhixian couldn't disobey it, so he had to make an exception and eat some." Later, his colleagues had to eat and drink with him, but Zhao Zhixian had already broken his vows, and he couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to eat some more until he got drunk. Then he fell drunk, and he was sent back, and the next morning he heard that he had been killed by a spell. β
"Then I don't understand." Wang Xian said with a faint look in his eyes: "Fang Cai Futai said that he has been in charge of the warehouse, and it can be said that he has nothing to do with the White Lotus Demon, how did he become the target of their actions?" β
"This, I don't know what to do." He Zhifu shook his head and said: "Although the case happened in Taiyuan, because he was once my subordinate, the subordinate officials avoided it as usual, and it was handled by the Yamen. β
"You don't know, but I know something." Wang Xian smiled coldly, picked up a file from the table, and slowly read it:
"On the twenty th of June, I received 500,000 stone of military rations from this province, and all of them went into the treasury."
Hearing this, the stone heart of He Zhifu, which was not afraid of boiling water, was tightly pinched again, and he looked at Wang Xian, who was shocked again and again, and almost forgot to breathe, only to hear his voice ringing in his ears:
'Twenty-five, received 300,000 stones from Shaanxi Liberation and 150,000 stones into the treasury.
On the twenty-eighth day, he received 500,000 stones from Shandong Liberation Transport, and 25 stones were transferred to the domain.
On the first day of the seventh month, he received 700,000 stone of military rations from the Henan Liberation Army, and 200,000 stone was transferred to the domain.
On the third day of the first month, he received 700,000 stones from Hebei Liberation and 300,000 stones into the domain.
On the eighth day of the first month, he received 2 million stone of military rations from Huguang Liberation and transferred it to the domain treasury of 500,000 ......"
After a pause, he recited in the last words: "A total of 4.7 million stone of military rations were received, and 1.9 million stone were transferred to the domain treasury. After Wang Xian finished reading, he closed the file, looked at He Zhifu faintly and said, "Lord Futai, do you hear what I read?" β
"......" He Zhifu moved his mouth, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he fainted suddenly.
"Lord Futai?" Wang Xian called, and Zhou Yong, who was standing behind He Zhifu, stepped forward to take a look, and reported: "My lord, he really fainted, and he was incontinent." β
"This old boy looks like a piece of kraft candy." Erhei said hesitantly: "I didn't expect to be so timid."
"Sometimes, fainting is also a relief." Wang Xian said lightly: "This kind of old fox's thoughts, it is difficult for you and me to guess." β
"Wake him up?" Erhei proposed.
"No need," Wang Xian shook his head and said, "It's useless to wake him up, and you can't punish him." β
"Why are you so honest?" Erhei said strangely: "Don't you know a lot of tricks, just use a method that can't see the injury." β
"In that case, he can retract his confession at any time, and we will be more passive in Taiyuan City." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "Get him down first, watch him up, and when he wakes up, tell him that I am not detaining him, but just asking him to answer his questions, answer my questions, and he will be able to leave." β
"Yes." Zhou Yong waved his hand, and the two guards dragged the dead dog-like He Zhifu out of the palace.
"Invite that Zhao Zhixian over." Wang Xian moved his muscles and bones, and once again sat upright.
Soon, Zhao Youde of Yangquzhi County was brought over from next door and bowed to Wang Xian again. It can obviously be seen that there is a lot of awe in his kneeling this time, in fact, he heard the conversation between Wang Xian and He Zhifu clearly next door.
"Sit." Wang Xian said lightly.
"In front of the superiors, how can there be a place for the lower officials to sit." Zhao Youde hurriedly thanked.
"If you want to sit down, you will sit" Wang Xian said coldly: "You have also heard the conversation just now, do you still want to talk to me with a false head?" β
"I ......" Zhao Youde said with a bitter face as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis: "The lower officials don't know anything." β
"The knives are all on your neck, and you don't want to save yourself, I think you're really tired" Wang Xian's voice was very low, but it was full of convincing strength: "Do you know how deep the water is here?" You are a little magistrate, do you really want to get involved? β
These words hit Zhao Youde's weakness, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Xiaguan, this sesame mung bean official, can only act according to orders." β
"Then you'll wait to be their shield and scapegoat." Wang Xian chirped.
